Flour-The Market Record says: This
market is taking on sort of holiday dull
ness. Prices are we'll maintained around the
figures quoted on the advance. Selling is in
active. as millers are well sold up and gen
orally having confidence in the future are
not dIscounting it by selling down their
product The late tendency of foreign -four
buyers to pick up fresh stocks over here has
been pretty well wiped out by the last few
days decline in wheat. The production
here is small now, as several mills are shut
down for repairs and several more are grind
sales by the millers and with buyers holding
off to secure whatever consolation is to be
found in the drop of wheat, the day among
-four sellers was very dull. Patents, sacks TO

Bran and Shorts-The market was not ac-
tive as the amount offered was too small
to make business anything more than
moderate. Prices were well maintained at
S145O@15.oO for bran, S145O@l6 for
shorts.
Corn-There was little inquiry at 45@46c
for good samples but more was offered than
seemed to be called for.
Oats-Remain firm but quiet. That is sell
ers were firm but buyers asked for conces-
sions, and in their denial business was dull
at 2562Sc for fair mixed to No. 2 white
Barley-This market is quiet, with choice
barely well held at 55@65c and fair samples
